Richard Gillilan, BioSAXS guru, assisted in running a workshop on small-angle scattering. He also co-chaired the session "Phase Separation and Aggregation of Biomolecular Systems and Intrinsically Disordered Proteins", and gave a talk in it about the use of multi-protein simulations and structure factor measurements. It was noteworthy that all the speakers at the session reported on work done at the CHESS BioSAXS station!
Summer Engineering Research for Community College Students (SERCCS) selects 4-5 students from (2-year) community colleges for eight-week internships in accelerator and x-ray sciences research, during which students also attend/lead formal seminars, tour research facilities, and enjoy social and
Dear CHESS Community,
CHESS is a vital resource for educating new and emerging synchrotron scientists. As the only synchrotron located on a university campus, it is CHESS's mission to engage students who will directly benefit from this amazing resource.
